Love Sheila

Ken And Santi

Santi knocked on Steven's workspace door three times then opened it after getting Steven's orders from inside to enter.

"Can I help you sir?" santi asked after standing in front of Steven.

"Please today you will replace my meeting with a client with Ken ya. Today was Sheila's scheduled check-up so I couldn't attend the meeting" Steven said.

The look on Santi's face instantly turned a little frantic, it did not go unnoticed by Steven.

"But sir, there are still some reports that I haven't finished yet. What if Yas was sir?" santi answered nervously.

"Yas I'm being tasked with monitoring conditions on the development project. And also, it's not usually that you refute my orders like this, is there a problem?" Steven asked directly at the point of making Santi more and more misbehavior.

"Ma-sorry Sir. Well, then I will prepare the files first," replied Santi trying as calmly as possible, then resigned to Steven.

Santi nodded slowly after leaving Steven's room. Not without reason Santi refused Steven's orders, because as Steven said earlier that Santi never denied any orders Steven, but honestly Santi was avoiding activities with Ken.

Everything turns awkward after the incident of Ken who forced to drive Santi home after Steven and Sheila's Thanksgiving event at that time.

The Flashback

Ken suddenly stopped his car at the city park. Santi who was sitting next to him was confused.

"Why do we stop here, sir?" santi asked with her confused face.

"Santi, there's something I want to talk to you about" Ken replied after taking his seat to face Santi.

Santi scrunched his forehead. "What's up, sir?"

"Set by now, I haven't noticed, but I know for sure that I'm slowly getting fascinated with you and my heart is beginning to feel the seeds of love growing for you," Ken changed their formal calling to me - you.

Santi's heart was pounding hearing Ken's every word. Santi began to be able to guess the direction of Ken's conversation.

"Will you be my lover?" ask Ken to the point.

Santi widened his eyes in surprise. Although already guessing the direction of Ken's conversation, but hearing Ken who immediately asked him to be a lover like this still made Santi's breath choked.

Ken's hand stretched out, holding both hands of Santi who was on his lap.

"I know you may think I'm in too much of a hurry, but really, I've never been this sure of my own feelings. With you I can get through all the worst circumstances of my life. Your presence can bring me peace. And your words are like an oasis in the midst of the arid field of my heart's restlessness."

"Will you be my lover San?" ask Ken again.

Tears just fell on both cheeks of Santi. Feeling overwhelmed but also feeling scared at the same time. The bad memories of the past are still clearly recorded in his memory.

Ken who saw Santi was crying became confused and confused.

"Hey, why are you crying?" ken asked while wiping Santi's tears with the back of his hand.

"Sorry sir, but I feel unworthy for all of this" replied Santi as he lowered his face.

"Sir, I'm a nobody. Only an orphaned girl from an orphanage, whose origins are unclear, does not know who and how her family is. You deserve better than me" replied Santi feeling inferior. Still remembered clearly how Mama Ryo had said to himself.

"Let's not talk like that. Really, I never judge you by your origin or who your family is. I sincerely love you San," said Ken tightened his grip to convince Santi.

Santi shook his head slowly.

"Sorry sir, but I don't" Santi's words were cut off because of Ken's index finger that was in front of his lips. It made Santi finally raise his face.

"I won't force you to answer now. I'm giving you time to think about all this. Really, I've never looked at you from who you are, but I judge you by how you are. And my race is sincere to you San. I'll be patient waiting for your answer" Ken said earnestly.

Flashback off

"Where's Bro?" ken asked as soon as he entered Steven's room and sat down in front of his best friend.

"Berez. But remember well my message, do not ever Lo nyakin Santi or play with the feelings of Santi, if you will not face me directly. Santi is like my brother" Steven warned.

"Not going to Bro, Lo can hold my talk. I've never been this confident as I feel myself," Ken replied steadily.

"But it seems like the struggle will not be easy. Do you know about Santi and Ryo first?" ask Steven.

"Yes, sister Kania told me. I didn't think that Ryo's girl was Santi."

"Trauma is still in Santi's heart. So, good luck, Bro. This time Lo's struggle will be a little difficult" Steven sneered.

"Damn Lo."

...

"Are you ready San?" ken asked as soon as he got to Santi's desk.

Santi exhaled softly to calm his heart. "Already sir," replied Santi trying professional as usual.

"Okay, we're leaving now. The driver is waiting for us downstairs," said Ken with his obvious arrival.

"Good Sir."

Santi then stood up and stepped following Ken behind him with some files in hand. The two stepped in tandem toward the elevator that would take them to the ground floor, where cars and office drivers were waiting. Ready to take them to the meeting place this time.

After the incident that night Santi found it very difficult to be ordinary to Ken as before. Not to mention the small attention that Ken gave to her, such as reminding prayer and meal times. Even to send him lunch when a few days ago he and Yas were so busy with work that they missed lunch time.

Often Santi tries to avoid Ken. But as if the universe was making fun of him, Santi actually had to attend meetings with clients with Ken as often as he is today, either because Steven is unfortunate or because Santi is the one who from the beginning has handled cooperation with the client, so inevitably Santi still has to continue what has become his responsibility.

The anxiety still struck Santi's heart. Honestly, from the beginning Santi was already impressed with Ken's attitude that is so serious, mature, and authoritative. But after Ken expresses his feelings that night, Santi's heart hesitates.

Santi feels unworthy of Ken. But on the other hand she also feels flattered by Ken's sincerity and sincerity towards her. Even Santi bit by bit also began to melt with all the effort Ken did. His little heart began to feel at ease with all the attention from Ken.

But that fear also remains. The sense of inferiority due to different degrees was still the biggest barrier in his own heart. The trauma of the past still lingered in his heart, making Santi hesitant to step forward.
